I have been observing the work of the Pécsi Organ-building Manufacture
for years. Some members of the limited company are descendants of the high standard
Angster Company's professional core team. Team members are very good professionals,
who have set a high standard in their domestic and foreign training as well as
in their work. It is a pleasure to support them since they work with consideration
and dedication. Their objective is the organ, its construction of high quality
and it is their motivation in the economic competition. Easy money is far away
from them. I wish them every success and accomplishment.

In the past thousand years of the Diocese of Pécs, sacred
music, including its development to which the former Angster Organ Factory contributed
so much, has played a significant role. The factory has not been operative for
decades, but these organs, that were manufactured here, are still in the service
of praising the Lord in our churches. It affords me great pleasure to hear that
József Angster, the old organ builder has initiated and supported the reestablishment
of the organ factory in Pécs. He has recruited young people, followed their
education with great attention and supported the start-up of the Pécs Organ-building
Manufacture. Sharing his competence and skills with a group of enthusiastic young
people who are devoted to the organ, Pécs has an organ factory anew, whose
works I have seen and can speak of with appreciation. The achievements of the
factory's several years of operation are only partly included in this guide booklet,
because I have visited the factory and have seen some of the renovated organs
and there is certainly more to it.
When one considers the work already undertaken, the future is full of hope, and
I expect more and more organs to be serving sacred music, and the organs built
by the factory will enhance the reputation of the organs from Pécs. Furthermore,
the organs will justify the existence of work by reputable craftsmen in the 21st
century.
I ask for the generous blessing of the Almighty upon their work
and the lives of their families.
I believe that the sound of the organs that leave the factory
- asking, imploring and thanking - will bring people's hearts closer to God's
blessing and salvation.
